Disney Cars Party Ideas

Race toward Lightning McQueen and the rest of the gang from Disney Cars
for your child's next party! If your child wants racing excitement, then
a Cars birthday is right up their race track. Go the extra mile by
getting creative with your Cars invitations, decorations, food, favors
and games. Here are our suggestions to get your child's party on the
right track.

Disney Cars Party Planning & Invitations

In addition to our Disney Cars party supplies,
like plates, cups, napkins and decorations, you may want to consider
purchasing, borrowing or renting the following items for your party:

Die-cast Disney' Cars toys and race tracks

Inflatable Tires

Go-carts

Racing helmets and driving gloves

Disney Cars: DVD, video games or soundtrack

Racing flags

Let the race to your child's birthday begin with creative Disney Cars
invitations. If you don't have time to create your own invitations, we
offer personalized Cars invitations featuring Cars character Lightning McQueen. If you have time, consider one of the following suggestions.

Fold a piece of red construction paper in half and cut out a car shape. Write "Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! [Child's name]
is turning [child's age]!" Cut out circles from black construction paper for the wheels. Attach the wheels to the card with brass fasteners so they spin.

Include a Disney Cars character or a small racing flag with your invitation to hand-deliver to your guests.

Make your invitation look like a pit pass for the Piston Cup! Write the party details on a piece of 2-1/2 x 4-inch paper and laminate it.
Then punch a hole in the top and loop a 12-inch string through it to make a necklace.

Disney Cars Party Decorating & Food

Attach two checkered racing flags to your mailbox or crisscross them on your front door.

Make a centerpiece out of characters and a toy racetrack.

Use chalk to draw a "Track" on the driveway and/or sidewalk leading up to your door.

Make a few Cars inspired signs like "No Tractor Tipping," "Radiator
Springs" and "Casa Della Tires" and hang them throughout the party
area.

As guests arrive, hand each their "Driver's License" using our laminated bag tags. Guests can take them home as their party favor!

Create a large car from an empty appliance box. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out a few windows. Paint the box red to resemble a race car. Cut out four circles from a sheet of cardboard, spray paint them black and glue to the sides of the box to create wheels. If desired, you can turn this into a party activity by handing out washable markers and having your guests decorate the box during the party. This will also be a great
place to take party pictures!

Use white and yellow lawn paint to draw a racetrack on the grass in your yard for outdoor games. Include a Start and Finish line, complete
with checkered flags.

We've changed the names of some common snacks to accommodate a
Cars-inspired menu! Label the food table as "Flo's V-8 Cafe" and serve
some of the following tasty treats.

Lightning McQueen's Ice Cream: Set up an ice cream bar where children can choose their own flavor and toppings.

Chick Hick's Chicken Bits: Chicken fingers

Tow-mater Taters: Tater tots with melted cheese on top and ketchup.

Luigi's Special: Any Italian meal will work, such as spaghetti or fettuccini.

Sally's Shakes: Milkshakes

Red's Salsa Surprise: Spicy salsa with tortilla chips

Mack and Cheese: Macaroni and cheese

Tex Mex: Any Mexican meal will work, such as tacos or quesadillas
